I have met David Cross. He will challenge you.
Challenge you? Like to a duel?
No, not physically.
He just does not suffer fools.
If I had the money and lived in California, I would totally bid on doing a crossword puzzle with Natasha Lyonne, which is another one of the auctions.
I could do half that lunch.
Anyone want Tom Waits’ hat, signed?
Or a Bill and Ted Script, signed…
David Cross does not seem like fun in person. His comedy is hit or miss for me.
So… if it was 50% off?
Is the previous one of these strikes the reason why Cameo became a thing? “pay x bucks for y celebrity to wish your friend | spouse | family member a happy birthday” etc
I dunno, I personally find the idea of paying to eat lunch with a celebrity to be weird. Like would I want to meet any of my favorite musicians as part of some fan club early access premium ticket deal? No, I don’t want to be a parasocial weirdo to them. I know I would. I sent a parasocial weirdo letter to one of my favorite musicians and he actually responded (and I would not be surprised if it was actually him since he’s not THAT famous) and it made me feel unpleasant inside. I’m not very fun backstage, am I.
I’ve met Jeff Gardere, aka Dr. Jeff – America’s Psychologist, but that was when we were in B’klyn Tech HS, specifically from when our course curriculums (he in College Prep, I in Aero) happened to overlap. Was he challenging in any way? The opposite: Always uniquely cheerful in his studiousness and instantly disarming in how he interacted with everyone.
Would you pay $2,000 for 20 minutes with Sarah Silverman?
That’s a loaded question.
